Danish midsummer “St. John’s Eve” - “Sankt Hans”

The longest day of the year – summer solstice – is June 21 and June 24 is Sankt
Hans dag – but in the evening of June 23 we celebrate Sankt Hans evening with
huge bonfires, speeches, the midsummer song and being with friends. We also say
that on this evening the witches fly on their broomsticks to Brocken in Harzen
in Germany to meet. And this was the super short version of a tradition that
has been developed through centuries…

We
celebrate it with our neighbors (living in the countryside that basically are a
lot of people from the neighborhood) – and naturally my nails had to reflect
what evening it was…

All the
used polishes are from China Glaze; the base is Sea Spray, the blue is Blue Years
Eve and the fiery orange is Riveting. The rest is painted with acrylic colors,
and the top coat is Seche Vite.

Your nails seem really on fire! And witches... :-) Perfect! :-)I like to hear about traditions and legends, they are particular in every country! ...Another thing: it must be exciting being a witch and flying all around on your broomstick, without worrying about gasoline, country borders, speed limits... You just sit on your broomstick and go! :-)

I'm not tired at all! :-) Maybe you should think about buying a new broomstick! If you want I will show you mine (I can even lend it to you for one-two nights) and I will send you a link where you can buy it :-) It is "custom-made" and I'm so happy with it, I'm sure you would feel much more comfortable if you get one "custom-made" too... :-)
